MikroTik RouterOS Advanced VPN Configuration Options

Have you ever wondered how you can connect to a remote client without having to worry about your online security? Well, worry no more, because the MikroTik VPN Configuration with PPTP has got you covered!

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about what VPN is. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and it allows you to connect to a network over the internet securely. This is often used by workers who need to connect to a private network while they're away from their office.

Alright, now that we've set the scene, let's dive into the MikroTik VPN Configuration with PPTP! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set it up:

Step 1: Access the RouterOS

Before we start, we need to access the RouterOS. To do this, you need to open your browser and type in the IP address of your MikroTik router in the address bar.

Step 2: Configure the PPTP Client

Once you've accessed the RouterOS, the next step is to configure the PPTP client. To do this, you need to navigate to the "PPP" menu on the left-hand side of the screen, and select "PPTP Client".

In the PPTP client configuration window, you'll need to enter the following details:

Remote Address: This is the IP address of the remote client you want to connect to.
User Name: This is the user name you'll use to log in to the remote client's network.
Password: This is the password you'll use to log in to the remote client's network.
Profile: This is the PPTP profile you'd like to use.

Once you've entered all of the necessary details, click "Apply" and then "OK".

Step 3: Verify the Connection

Now that you've configured the PPTP client, the next step is to verify the connection. To do this, navigate back to the "PPP" menu and select "Interfaces". Here, you should see the PPTP client interface, with a status of "connected".

If the status is "disconnected", double-check all of the details you entered in step 2 and try again.

Step 4: Create a NAT Rule

Alright, we're almost there! The final step is to create a NAT rule so that your local network can communicate with the remote client's network. To do this, navigate to the "IP" menu and select "Firewall".

Src. Address: This is the IP address of the local network that will be communicating with the remote client's network.
Dst. Address: This is the IP address of the remote client's network.
Action: This is the action you want to take (masquerade, dst-nat, etc).

Once you've entered all of the necessary details, click "Apply" and then "OK".

And there you have it! You've now successfully set up the MikroTik VPN Configuration with PPTP. Happy secure remote connecting!
